Setting: The Abbot stands in front of a table. Three aristocratic figures sit around the table facing him. It is dark. Candlesticks are aglow, black drapes are drawn behind the table. Shadows are cast on the walls.
Abbot
It is no doubt a frosty night to call upon you so
Late as it is, my noble friends.
Forgive this man whose beard comes whiter each day
Whose memory fails and falters.
Had I known a better choice, or livelier alternative
I would have died a thousand times
Turning and then burning
Than summon you here on a cold November Eve.
Yet every setting sun is but one occasion lost
A slipping chance from our unclenching fists.
How regretful!
And if conduct can be crime then so
Some acts undone are well-committed crimes
And not to act is enough treason
To incur the holy wrath.
So, let me call for your attention
Undivided and complete
As I divulge my troubles recent
Which pain my heart and tear
Me.
PAUSE
Senior A
Many troubles, Father Abbot
Have moved us to grieve, of recent
The poor are chained with heavier fetters
Of which even wild beasts are free
And the rich do not sleep soundly
Any longer, but nightmares of revolution
Rattle them in their sleep.
Senior B
True. True. Difficult times.
One cannot help but wonder
In these sweet words the poet speaks
"What troubled storms and icy winds
This Our Lady of December brings?"
A MELANCHOLIC FLURRY OF NODS
SENIOR C GETS TO HIS FEET
Senior C
When the coffers are empty, My Lords
And the spiders spin their webs
In the nooks of what were
Olden palaces, gilded stairs
And crystal chandeliers
‘Tis then we can truly grieve.
Senior A
What do you imply?
Senior C
Let us not shed tears of fear
But lift a finger!
Are we not the pride of Salamanca?
We, skilled wizards, have
Done wonders before
Time and again
Day in and day out!
Our smiles cultivated fields
Our scowls shook the earth!
If heaven disfavours us today
Then let us act with
What little favour
She has thrown our way!
ALL BANGING ON THE TABLE (IN AGREEMENT) SENIOR C RETURNS TO HIS SEAT
Abbot
I am glad I witness this
Sure sign of fortitude
Which my noble friend expresses
In so fine a language.
Gladder, that I find us all agreed
On the course we are to take
To challenge the crises
That threaten to shake
The very foundations
Of our ancient institutions.

Chandeliers Some basic fact
Stephen Neal asked:
Chandeliers can be defined as branched candle holders or electric light holders which are suspended from ceilings. In their earliest forms, chandeliers were made from wood or iron and came in simple shapes. But that was before the Norman Conquest, when they were used in the Anglo Saxon churches. In the 12th and the 13th centuries, huge openwork hoops of iron or bronze with a multitude of spikes for candles became more common. The late European middle ages saw the emergence of the brass chandeliers; quite like its predecessors, these were also mostly used in churches.
During the 18th century, one finds the use of fine chandeliers in silver and gilded wood. Then came the era of elaborate glass chandeliers complete with glass icicles round the shaft and long cascades of pear shaped drops. Venice and Bohemia were the best places to look for glass chandeliers of the highest quality. The multicoloured glass and floral decorations in the Venetian chandeliers are famous all across the world to this day.
Gradually, chandeliers came to be used in ballrooms or large royal mansions and palaces. And in the present day and age, one can find crystal chandeliers in the mansions of the rich and the famous.
And why only the rich nd the famous ? As of now, people who want to live life luxuriously are purchasing these with other articles of home decor to make their homes and living areas quite special. Many common people can now afford to purchase and use a chandelier. And they are doing just that. They are buying these articles of home decor and changing the look of their dining rooms and living areas quite drastically.
And the great news is that there are a host of designs to choose from. A person wanting to make a purchase can check out the online stores dealing in chandeliers and get to know more about all the design options currently in vogue. This way, he or she would not have to go out and visit the “brick and mortar” stores in search for a modern and stylish chandelier. He can review the best options in style and lighting and select the perfect design that would suit his home the best.
One thing that potential buyers must remember is that a good chandelier is one which hangs high on the ceiling. So, in instances where the ceilings are low, one needs to consider buying a smaller one. The product bought need to be proportional to the room in which it would be placed; this way, the chandeliers would look their best.
To conclude, one can say that chandeliers have illuminated churches, mansions, and halls since times immemorial. And now, these very distinguished pieces of home decor are available to one and all. Anybody and everybody who want to make their living areas or other spaces come alive can buy a chandelier according to his aesthetic tastes and sensibilities. A buyer can choose from crystal chandeliers, black chandeliers, and chandeliers with glass shades. To know more about how you can create your very own royal ambiance, visit periodstylelighting.

How to and DIY with a Wrought Iron Chandelier
MATT BECK asked:
How to and DIY with a Wrought Iron Chandelier
Wrought iron chandeliers are among the strongest with in the iron chandelier category. Each wrought iron chandelier has a special wrought iron bronze chandelier finish. There is also a wrought iron crystal chandelier category for the crystal enthusiast as well as a black wrought iron chandelier category. The quality detail and workman ship is second to none.
The 100% Crystal Wrought Iron Chandelier is part of A Great European Tradition. Nothing is quite as elegant as the fine crystal chandeliers that gave sparkle to brilliant evenings at palaces and manor houses across Europe. These beautiful wrought iron chandeliers are inspired from the Versailles Collection and there are known to be decorated and draped with hand-cut and polished 100% crystal that capture and reflect the light of the candle bulbs. The frames are Wrought Iron, adding the finishing touch to a wonderful fixture. The timeless elegance of the wrought chandelier is sure to lend a special atmosphere anywhere its placed!
There are a lot of types of wrought iron chandeliers and lighting. In today’s day – like most other things from back in the – the wrought iron chandelier is not made like it used to be. That being said you can still find that the quality and workmanship for these types of chandeliers are excellent. The wrought iron bronze chandelier is still made of metal and or iron but they are not hammered out and as heavy like they used to be. Whether you are shopping for a iron chandelier or a bronze chandelier you are sure to make any room look better then it did before. They truly are part of the great tradition of a Wrought Iron Chandelier.
Assembling a wrought iron chandelier or any other crystal chandelier can sometimes seem over whelming at first. You have a few choices you can either DIY and save money and feel accomplished and look at it every day knowing you put all your hard earned money and time into it, or of course you can take the easy way out and hire an electrician. No shame in that, its what most people do.
The basics of the basics in assembling wrought iron chandeliers goes as follows – most of them have the same idea, the one tiered iron chandelier usually starts with a bronze chandelier plate at its base. So if you have a ten light iron chandelier for example the plate that will sit at the bottom of the chandelier should have ten holes. Each arm will a have screw coming out of it at the bottom end of the arm – you will then put the arm with the screw coming out of it into one of the holes in the plate. Then you will take the nut that comes with it and you will screw it onto the bottom screw to tighten the arm to the plate. You will then do that for each arm.
After you are done putting all the wrought iron chandelier arms in the right places and fastening them with the screws you will have wires coming out of each arm – you should 1st consult a licensed electrician – but here or some of the basics of wiring your iron chandelier. First you should locate the two main wires that will be carrying the electricity to the ceiling, you can mark one main wire A and the second main wire B, then you should notice that the arms should have two wires coming out of each of them. Take a wire from each arm and label one of them A and one of them B (it does not matter which one is A or B). So to recap for a second being we have a ten light wrought iron chandelier we should have a total of 11 wires marked with the letter A and 11 wires marked with the letter B. You then take all the ones marked with the letter A and tape them all together with certified electrical tape, then do the same for all the letter B’s. You will then have a beautiful wrought iron crystal chandelier electrified and ready to be hung into place.
